What is the definition of the y-intercept?
The y-intercept is the point where a line or curve intersects the y-axis.
True or False: The y-intercept can have a negative value.
True
Fill in the blank: In the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the letter ‘b’ represents the __________.
y-intercept
What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation 2x + 3y = 6?
2
Multiple Choice: Which of the following represents the y-intercept of the function f(x) = 4x - 7?

What is the definition of slope in mathematics?
The slope is the measure of the steepness or incline of a line, represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.
True or False: A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.
True
Fill in the blank: The formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = (____) / (____).
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of a line?
A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following slopes represents a line that falls from left to right? A) 1 B) -2 C) 0
B) -2
What does GCF stand for in the context of factoring?
Greatest Common Factor
True or False: The GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.
True
Fill in the blank: To factor out a GCF, you divide each term of the polynomial by the GCF and then ________ the result.
multiply by the GCF
Which of the following is a step in factoring out the GCF: A) Identify the GCF, B) Add the coefficients, C) Find the roots?
A) Identify the GCF
If the expression is 6x^2 + 9x, what is the GCF?

What is the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex of a parabola is the point where the curve changes direction, representing either the maximum or minimum point of the parabola.
True or False: The vertex of a parabola can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) for the standard form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
True
Fill in the blank: The vertex form of a parabola is expressed as y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) represents the ______.
vertex
In the equation y = 2(x - 3)² + 4, what are the coordinates of the vertex?
(3, 4)
What is the significance of the vertex in relation to the axis of symmetry of a parabola?
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, which divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
What is the value of 2 raised to the power of -3?
